Patent number: 11957246Abstract: A chair with a transom, a seat support, a back portion, and a combined rock and recline mechanism. The combined rock and recline mechanism has front and rear rocking arrangements configured to enable the seat support and back portion to together rock generally forward and rearward from a neutral position relative to the transom, and a recline arrangement that is configured such that the seat support is in a first at-rest position relative to the back portion when the back portion is in an upright position, and such that reclining the back portion rearwardly from the upright position toward a reclined position moves the seat support upward and rearward from the first at-rest position.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Formway Furniture LimitedInventors: Christopher Warren Bisman, James Clifford Prier, Fabian David Haarbeck, Paul Michael Wilkinson, Damon Gregory Burwell, Hugh Thomas Mccoshim, Leon Harley Craze, Rachael Jessica Hall

Publication number: 20230357992Abstract: A system and method of producing a moulded article, e.g. a one-piece container, comprises delivering a fibre suspension to a porous mould and removing a suspending liquid (e.g. water) via pores of the porous mould. An inflatable bladder is inserted into the mould in a collapsed state and then inflated to apply pressure to internal walls of the article to remove water content. A wet embryonic form of the container is then transferred to a non-porous mould where an inflatable bladder applies internal pressure to compress the walls and remove further water content. The container is further dried by microwave and/or air drying and may be coated with a protective layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Adam Richard Turner, Natasha Wilson, Joshua Lanzon-Miller, Jonathan Morris, Antony Robin Burness, Andrew William Norfolk, Benjamin Rhys Williams, Amy Joanne King, Rupert Anthony Barton, Paul Clifford Smith

Patent number: 9918964Abstract: It has been discovered that inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in platelets reduces platelet activation or platelet aggregation. Certain heterocyclic compounds significantly reduced one or more platelet functions including clumping, sticking or platelet-stimulated clotting. Thus diseases or disorders mediated by inappropriately high levels of platelet activation or platelet aggregation can be treated by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a heterocyclic compound or nonheterocyclic mitochondrial inhibitor that significantly reduces one or more platelet functions including clumping, sticking or platelet-stimulated clotting, preferably in a reversible manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2011Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior UniversityInventors: James P.
